It is a "Booner" 5 panel "Dagger Dual" from Menard's
Right now they are $799 at Menards + Menards runs 11% rebates several times a month(rebate in form of store credit) so I look at it as $$ because I am constantly using their type of products ..so ..
$799 - 11% = $711
I wait for a sale ..the one pictured I caught locally on sale for $699 then hit the 11% bonus so we had a net of $622
Last years deal same blind we had a net of $525
This fall I will catch(hopefully) them on sale again!

Handwriting Font Rectangle Material property Parallel

Handwriting Font Line Parallel Pattern

Platform is 78" X 114" ...1 full plywood sheet & 1 ripped lengthwise into one piece 18"X96" and one piece 30"X96" with 18" along side the Full piece and the 30" piece caps the back to create a 42"X78" landing as the blind used is 76" diameter

May try 2"X6" joists/frame on next one as this dude is beyond rock solid n heavy
